Welcome and congratulations
It’s great that you are thinking of getting married.
All three Churches in the Parish are available for Weddings or Blessings.
St Swithun’s or St Mark’s make very good venues for small ceremonies around 60 people max. St Swithun’s can also be used for a reception venue for up to 60 people please enquire about cost.
To be married in any of the Churches in the Parish you either have to live in the Parish or have a connection with the Church If you’re not sure whether you have a connection please do get in touch and we will help you however we can. You will need to provide evidence documents that confirm the links. (eg parents wedding certificates or proof of residence and your birth certificate)
If either of you has been married before it may still be possible for you to be married in Church, but you will need to have a conversation with the Vicar to explore what happened during your first marriage and what you have learned from the experience. There will need to be at least two meetings with the Vicar before it will be possible to fix a wedding if that is appropriate for you. It may help you to look over some of the questions you will be discussing in advance of your first meeting.
